Mulan (1998)
92%
4/5
“[Jerry Goldsmith] wrote the film's score, but unfortunately not its vocal numbers. And therein lies the film's only flaw... Plugging these songs into Goldsmith's score is the musical equivalent of putting a bumper sticker on a Porsche.” –

3/4
“In the thankless role of Ana's much older sister, Estella, the clothing factory owner, Ingrid Oliu gives a noble performance, quietly conveying her admiration and envy for her self-assured younger sibling.” –

Queen of Katwe (2016)

3/4
“Fiercely protective and suspicious of her daughter's new pastime, Nyong'o's wonderfully expressive face reflects her entire life story. Her scenes with Oyelowo are an acting master class.” –

“Sometimes, when you get together with old friends you can't remember what you ever had in common. Ultimately, much of the film falls as flat as an open bottle of Bolly.” –
